Year 7 students have also began their own reseach into African masks and completed a secondary source study drawing of their favourite African mask.

Featured student artwork from JULY 2012... 


Year 7 student Gabriella completed a fantastic 'My Journey to School' homework. Gabriella documented her own journey to school by taking photographs of each stage and selecting key representative images to include in her presentation. Gabriella presented her work using her brilliant ICT skills over a double page in her sketchbook. Well done Gabriella!






Year 7 students Lewis, Naoya and Shanaz completed brilliant research on artist David Hockney as part of our 'My Journey to School' project. These students have used ICT software such a Photoshop to present their research in these fantastic brightly coloured layouts combining image and text in interesting ways. Excellent work Lewis, Naoya and Shanaz!




Year 10 students Maria and Marina have been exploring the artwork of Jennifer Martin. These images show their experimentation with Martin's technique of manipulating fashion images using paint. Brilliant work Maria and Marina!

  2. All does drawings are really cool! The student artwork of the month really looks nice because of the different range of colors used. The human rights photos are really cool but I specially liked the photo of the planet and the two hands. Louis Naoya and Shanaz did really cool research too.

  3. One of my favourite pieces of work from this selection is the 8th piece down which was from the "Patterns" project. This Pattern title page in my opinion stands out a lot. It is very bold and I really like how the lettering is drawn in a swirly style. I think the way this person has drawn the flours in the background is very effective and I like the way they add a tiny bit of colour to the flours. I think this piece of work was created using felt-tips and I think its simple but effective. I think the piece is trying to show nature but without using that much colour and I really like it.

    I like the patterns title page that has little colour but lots of curling vines. It is detailed and neat but it fills the whole page and doesn't look like the pattern is having to be stretched. It is quite simple looking however it looks delicate at the same time. If I was to improve this piece of work, I would add a light background colour and add a bit of colour to the actual pattern. Other then the colours, I really like this piece of work.

  5. my favourite peice of art work is the pattern project because the work that the students produced are very creative and stands out. And usually when you think of patterns they can come across as quite boring but these particular patterns seem interesting and colourful which makes thier work really good. i also like the ideas that the pupils have thought of (e.x- hand with colourful flowers coming up the side.) it makes their work much more exciting!

    My favorite piece of art work was the patterns because it was very imaginative and very good use of colors. The patterns were very thought out and also they were repeating again and again. They are really good.

  9. My favourite piece of artwork is the 2nd one down in the pattern project produced by year 8. I particularly liked this as the black outlining added emphasis to the detailed patterns and made them stand out. Moving on I love the way that the pattern has a theme to it which consists of black and red, I think that these colours complement each other and reveal every feature of the pattern it is extremely attractive the eye due to the effective colour scheme. Moreover it looks as if it has been thought through properly and is overall a beautiful piece of work.

  10. My favourite piece of art work was the African masks because it shows a variety of different masks and it shows that the people that created them really used there imagination. they where great.

  11. My favourite piece is the 8th one down because I like the way they have drawn it in black and white but added red tips at the end of some of the flowers. I also like the curve writing and the way that there is a gap between the writing and the flowers to make it stand out.

  12. My preferred piece of art from this vast selection is the third painting down. I like the way the artist has structured they’re painting adding striking contrast and sentiment between the expressions. Moreover, I particularly like the colour scheme reinforced within the painting, once again adding emphasis to the centre emotion. The use of watercolour creates a pessimistic and ominous mood of the art. In addition, I predominantly like the way each emotion is different within the three canvases. This portrays something within the painting and makes you question the appearance, its great!

  13. I like the 6th one because of the use of vibrant colours and the way the colours compliment each other is great,

  14. I like the 8th piece of artwork because it's very detailed around the lettering and the artist took their time to draw these images. I also like this peice of artwork because the lettering is very imaginative and bold because he/she has taken their time to outline the drawings and lettering. The colours he/she has chosen all go together and the little splashes of red really stand out and make the artwork exciting.

  19. I like the 1st piece of work because it is very creative and she has used a wide viriety of colours. I think the material used was paint and I think she used a sponge and a brush. I think her inspiration came from Caren Ginsberg a famous abstract artist who created paintings similar to this one.

  22. I Like Anya and Kiran's pattern title page because it stood out from the others and a variety of colours have been used. Also the way they wrote "Patterns" makes it alot funkier! The colours they used work really well with the amazing design, I thing they have done a great job.

  26. My favourite painting is the second last one made by the year 10's because...
    It is a very bold piece, this effect is created by the blue which is an unexpected colour to be chosen for the skin, this makes it look a-little like pop art. I also love the colours that have been chosen, blue and yellow, they really stand out individually. Because, they are contrasting with one another this makes it even bolder and effective, even though it’s only two colours that were used it really gave the artwork a controversial personality.

  28. The Human Rights artwork is my favourite. It is appealing to the eye because the colours are vivid - they complement and also contrast one another. This artwork inspires me as it illustrates egalitarianism and reconciliation in the world. I like the fact that two hands – of different skin colours – joined together to form a heart in front of the earth show that it should be a world without racism. It reminds me about the last sermon of the beloved prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) who advised Muslims about human rights, and mentioned that no race is superior to another. The border is very attractive as it is filled with words displaying what an unspoiled world would be like. I also like the fact that the message is enriched through the symbols of peace.

  29. My favourite piece is 'my journey to school' because it is creative and colourful. I like the use of photographs layered as a collage.

  30. I like Gabriellas 'my journey to school' because she uses a range of pictures symbolising all of the things she sees on her journey to school and in school. The way she sets the pictures out on the sheet is very eye catching because it makes you want to explore all of the pictures further.

  31. My favourite abstract is number one on the patterns topic. I like the way “patterns”, are written in the centre of the page; the use of landscape give the patterns more room to work with. Firstly, the font, which is graffiti, look which gives the font a vibe, which is independence. The bold and effective lettering has different patterns in each of the letters; this introduces that there is so many different types to choose from. The colour corresponds with the pattern texture and gives the lettering emphasis. Some are simple, some are complicated, and however, in both ways they are effective. In addition, there is an outline, which goes around the letters twice, which gives the lettering a bubbly effect; this makes the lettering a fearless end product. The patterns in which are in the background have many different types of colours which is adventurous and bright, which makes the abstract lively and full of freedom. To improve this abstract, you could try having all of the patterns in the background move in a certain direction with the colour. Meaning, the colour blends in with the direction which you want it to move it. For example, sideways. On the other hand, this abstract is a spectacular piece, which gives this piece of artwork character.
